• Ensure that the gaps do not run in a wedge-shaped fashion or do not narrow at local points. 
• The specified values are guidelines, which should be observed as far as possible. 
• The guidelines apply to repair work and assembly work. 
• Use star gauges to check the gap dimensions.  >VAS 6937 - Adjusting gauge
